Welcome
Patrick Ramsay
Head of Global Residential
In order to introduce some of the finest properties in the world to our global client
base we have produced an international magazine. It is being distributed throughout
our network, which now extends to over 244 offices in 43 countries and translated
into a number of languages, including Mandarin and Russian.
Political uncertainty and financial stress is causing an unprecedented movement
of capital and people around the world. Tax regimes are tightening, and there is
increasing uncertainty as to how governments will react to the challenges that face
them. Our clients are looking for objective advice on the markets and guidance in
their search for the best houses and investment opportunities around the world.
In order to do this more efficiently, we have developed a truly global website, which
is used by over a million people a month from over 200 countries. It displays all our
properties and will soon be available in over 20 languages.
Increasingly, our clients want access to this information while they are on the move.
Our latest app for the iPhone and the iPad provides them with the ability to look at all
the properties we have available for sale around the world and all the latest research
that we publish on the various markets. My Knight Frank, available on our app and
on our website allows our clients to get prompts on any new property that they are
interested in tracking, or any new research they want to receive, as soon as it is
published. They can build their own library of research on their iPad, for browsing
when they have a moment (please see page 5 for more information).
We hope that you will enjoy this publication and if you would like advice on any
property matter, please do get in touch with any one of our offices, the details of
which are shown on page 81.
Yours sincerely,

LOCAL perspective
Noel Flint
Knight Frank London, UK
Hugo Skillington (Associate)
Hugo Skillington Immobilier,
St Tropez, France
What was your most memorable sale?
The Old Rectory in Chelsea. It had nearly 1 hectare
of grounds and its current value would be well in excess
of £100,000,000.
A 562 hectare waterfront property with a château,
a chapel, a small island and nearly 4km of coastline.
The negotiations were epic.
Where is the up and coming location in London?
Where is the up and coming location around St Tropez?
In Lancaster Village, north of Hyde Park, there are still
plenty of un-refurbished period buildings available for
much less than in Notting Hill and Mayfair.
The village of Cogolin, 4km inland, is the liveliest
community out of season in the area, and probably the
best value for money – for the time being.
What do you most like about London?
What is the main reason people buy around St Tropez?
The quality of the architecture, the cosmopolitan mix of
residents and the buzz of the capital.
It has remained an area of outstanding natural beauty
having resisted the onslaughts of the bulldozer and
cement mixer. The hedonistic epicurean lifestyle is,
as far as I know, unequalled elsewhere.
How long have you been selling luxury property?
I joined Knight Frank 27 years ago.
What is the best thing about selling luxury property?
The thrill of the deal and making a difference to the life of
somebody who has everything.
7 | 2012 | Europe

Region
What do you most like about St Tropez?
The contrast between the excesses of the long summer
party and the quality and authenticity of life when the
party’s over. My children were taught how to recognise
edible mushrooms before they were invited to learn to
read and write.

Bill Thomson
Knight Frank Florence, Italy
Where are the up and coming locations in Tuscany?
There are 3 that I would identify at the moment: Florence,
the Tuscan coast and the Maremma. When we first started
operating in Tuscany 20 years ago, we only ever sold derelict
farmhouses in the middle of nowhere. Now buyers expect
to be able to use their property at a moment’s notice and
to have all of the international standard conveniences
when they do. Florence has always been a destination for
the international traveller, but only recently has its appeal
as an ownership destination become really established.
The Tuscan coast because it is still a great place to be and
remains relatively unspoilt. The Maremma even more so.
What is the one thing that visitors should do?
Liudmila Aksenenko
Knight Frank Moscow, Russia
Where are the up and coming locations in Moscow and
its surrounding areas?
The area close to the Novorizhskoe highway is becoming
increasingly popular with wealthy Russians who are
looking for a large residential home only 25 minutes from
the centre of Moscow. In fact, in order to cope with this
increasing demand we have recently opened an office in
the area.
What do you most like about Moscow?
It is a cosmopolitan city in a constant state of change,
steeped in history yet continuously evolving as a centre
of commerce, fashion and culture.
Visitors must go and see the cities out of season for a
completely different experience. When Italy is at its best.
Florence in April and May, Siena in September and Arezzo
for the antique markets – but in February.
How long have you been selling luxury properties?
I became acquainted with a very interesting man (with
a Donald Trump attitude and passion for the property
business) 8 years ago who was running a boutique elite
agency in Beijing, where I started my international real
estate career.
Knight Frank started the business in Tuscany in 1994 and
we were really the first international firm to be present
here. Since then it has grown to encompass 15 offices all
over Italy.
What was the most exciting feature you have seen in
a property?
A secret underground corridor that connected the main villa
to an annexe for the staff. I never cease to be amazed by the
trouble that they took in the 16th and 17th centuries in the
construction of their buildings.
3 years in Beijing and 5 years in Moscow.
Why did you get involved with the luxury
property market?
What would your dream house be?
Nowadays a cosmopolitan Moscowite would rather
dream of several houses. If money were no object I would
purchase a penthouse in downtown Moscow, a larger
home on the outskirts of Moscow, a property in London,
ideally hotel-managed, and a beautiful waterfront villa
on the CÔte d’Azur.

What is the biggest opportunity for the property market in
New York?
Purchasing pre-construction in a limited number of top
buildings that are coming onto the market over the next
couple of years.
Where are the up and coming locations in New York?

restaurants, galleries, and shopping in an already booming
artistic hub of the city. What is the main reason people buy in New York?
Property values here have held strong throughout a rather
tumultuous market. Buying real estate in New York is one of
the safest investments you can make.
What has most changed since you started selling houses in
New York?
The influence the internet has had on marketing properties
and the way it has resulted in far better educated buyers.
What would be your dream house?
A recently sold penthouse at Central Park West – it sold for
US$88,000,000.

Why do people buy in Bali and Jakarta?
In Jakarta the main reason is capital appreciation. Bali
is very popular because of its unique culture, friendly
people, beautiful valleys, stunning beaches, luxurious
hotels and exquisite scenic beauty.
A bulk sale of 20 villas at The Point project on Danang
Golf Course.
Where are the up and coming locations in Indonesia?
Lombok, Bintan, Makassar and Menado have the
potential to become alternatives to Bali for both
domestic and international purchasers.
What is the one thing visitors to Bali should do?
Explore the culture and heritage, as well as the beach.
What would your dream house be?
Where are the up and coming locations in Hanoi?
On the east and south sides of the city where there are
a wide range of projects with prices from US$700/sq m
to US$3,500/sq m.
Why do people buy in Hanoi?
Investing and nesting.
What has changed most since you started selling properties
in Hanoi?
What are the biggest opportunities for Indonesia’s
property markets ?
Buyers are now much more informed. A few years ago when
there was less choice they were queuing up to buy and
developers could just relax and ‘issue the ticket’. Now, with
oversupply, buyers want to invest in a visible project that
has good infrastructure and quality construction, as well as
offering good value for money.
An imbalance between supply and demand in Jakarta
and Bali.

countryside with a big garden and lots of lush greenery.

The joy of helping people purchase their dream house and
maximising the property’s investment value.

What is the biggest opportunity for the property market
in Singapore?
What is the most exciting feature you have seen in
a property?
The luxury condo segment. Although there is an
oversupply situation at present, these properties are all
in the prime areas and situated in outstanding locations.
A penthouse apartment with its own private swimming pool
on the rooftop surrounded by lush greenery.
Where are the up and coming locations?
A detached house on an elevated plot with a wide frontage
on Nassim Road – the most prestigious
address in Singapore. The house would be designed
by a world-renowned architect with its construction
materials and its soft finishes sourced from around
the world. Only the best would be permitted.
The areas close to the recently operational Circle Line
MRT stations.
Why do people buy in Singapore?
The main reason is that people consider prime property
to be a safe haven to invest their funds in. Demand
for properties is strong despite the cooling measures,
particularly in a low interest environment.
What would be your dream property?
What has most changed since you started selling
properties in Singapore?
The standard of professionalism among real estate
agents has increased significantly following the
creation of the Council of Estate Agencies (CEA)
watchdog in 2010.
